Lankan or Manta point is one of the most exciting dive sites in Maldives. It consists on three cleaning stations (or four) for mantas. It is almost sure to find the big guys here.The most important part is to stay away of the cleaning stations (the base of the rocks). If a diver stands there, the mantas will see it as occupation of the area and will go away.Control your buoyancy, mantain good distance, and enjoy the show!

This is indeed an amazing dive site... if you go on the right time. If you don't do it, then there's nothing... but if you go in the right monsoon and with the proper west current, then lots of mantas are assured. Is just great to watch them "queue" to enter in the cleaning station, get clean by the wrasse and then leave to come again and again. They'll be curious and get closer to you, and you will see them perfectly with the mouth open... AMAZING!!
